CLINICAL STUDIES WITH DOXYCYCLINE IN PEDIATRICS

Abstract

Doxycycline was effective in 25 cases out of 29 acute infections in pediatric patients and without effect in 4, the effective ratio being 86%. A transient diarrhoea was observed in only 1 case a nd any serious side effect was not noted. Children were willingly to take the syrup preparation of the antibiotic. It was an additional advantage that a small volume of the drug was sufficient.
